Algorithms Sequential and Parallel: A Unified Approach

Equip yourself for success with a state-of-the-art approach to algorithms available only in Miller/Boxer's ALGORITHMS SEQUENTIAL AND PARALLEL: A UNIFIED APPROACH, 3E. This unique and functional text gives you an introduction to algorithms and paradigms for modern computing systems, integrating the study of parallel and sequential algorithms within a focused presentation. With a wide range of practical exercises and engaging examples drawn from fundamental application domains, this book prepares you to design, analyze, and implement algorithms for modern computing systems.

Russ Miller is Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Head of the Cyberinfrastructure Laboratory, and Founding Director (1998-2006) of SUNY-Buffalo's world-class Center for Computational Research. Dr. Miller also maintains appointments in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Structural Biology at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute. Dr. Miller has produced seminal work in areas of parallel algorithms for the mesh, pyramid, hypercube, and reconfigurable architectures covering domains that include computational geometry, image analysis, and fundamental data movement operations. Professor Miller's has over 200 publications, including peer-reviewed papers, chapters, and abstracts of presentations at national and international conferences. He has also authored 2 textbooks covering parallel and sequential algorithms. His Shake-and-Bake was listed on the IEEE poster "Top 10 Algorithms of the 20th Century." Dr. Miller is a fellow of the Institute Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a member of the European Academy of Sciences.
